AURORA — Ethan Lederer had the ball and then he didn’t. Unfortunately for Evergreen that one miscue less than a minute into the second overtime proved to be the difference.
Howie Samuel’s rocket shot from 30 yards out ricocheted off Lederer’s hands and trickled into the back of net, sending host Smoky Hill to a 2-1 double overtime victory over Evergreen on Sept. 25 at Legacy Stadium.

Nine Evergreen-area churches will host an event for youths that is being called The Gathering, and it will be the first major event at the new community center in Evergreen called The Place.

The Gathering will be from 7 to 9 p.m. Monday, Oct. 4, at The Place, 27888 Meadow Drive, across from Da Kind Soup.
